The Turkish president also stated that the Republic of Turkey will not recognize Crimea's occupation and will continue to support the Crimean Tatars in every possible way," the press service said in a communication posted on the Ukrainian presidential official website.

"In the context of the military coup attempted in Turkey late on July 15 - early on July 16, 2016, the Ukrainian head of state confirmed the Ukrainian support of the legitimately elected president and government of the Republic of Turkey," it said.
